Fair enough :)

 

And I would be thinking the same if I had the build I would be dreading the roof repair... Front ends can be a right C*ck to do sometimes though. The one of my sidewalk went on ok but needs some adjustment on the front of the wings for the bonnet to sit right..

Yup minis in general can be an arse haha.

Got some more done today finished he welding and grinding of the door frame top and primered only got filler primer at the time so that's why it's yellow lol









The started in the door step and post..

Got some more done today spent most of the day cleaning the unit as it was a right old mess !!

Did manage to get the drivers rear wheel arch welded in.

At first it was a crap fit after a hour or 2 fetteling finally got it to fit to the point where I was happy with it :)

How the front fitted.



And the rear was shocking ! With a missive gap




Now fitted perfect



Had to plug weld this as couldn't get the slot welder in




Welded up need to grind the welds off



Had this around 5 years only just got around to bolting it down



Thanks Danny

[minimissions]

Some nice progress there dan, So jealous of the space you have to work with.. I also have a vise lol but no where to bolt it down haha

[mini danny]

Cheers dude and yup so good having a good amount of room. And I thought ild best bolt it down as its a pain to use other wise haha

[mini danny]

Didn't get anything done yesterday as spend the day with my son and misses.

Got down there today didn't get a great deal done. Managed to finish on most of the door post and get the a panel and sill welded on. Then spend most of he day sorting bits out for shot blasting/powerdercoating

All zinc primered before fitting








All welded up




Will be getting rest of my panels hopefully this week ten crack on next weekend

Thanks Dan

[minimissions]

Nice one dan its looking all tidy. What panel have you got to go on next?

[mini danny]

Cheers pal. Either going to to the rear quarter on drivers side or I will get passenger side inner and outer a panels fitted and then do door skin. Should have other arch coming this week. So might do that beofre anything else and get the rear end welded down.

Dan

[minimissions]

Cool looking forward to seeing all those fitted :)

[mini danny]

Cracked on today as didn't get down to the unit yesterday.

Got the door post closing plate fitted




Then cracked on with the rear quarter on the drivers side. Got it all removed and tacked into place and is fully welded to the wheel arch.
Will weld it bit by bit so to minimise any distortion.

Drilling spot welds



Slowly cut this off



Lined up and trimmed to fit




Tacked into place





Cleaned all up before welded and zinc primered





Cleaned all the filler off the rear end and found out she's had a rear end at some point. I knocked this all out beofre fitting the rear quarter.




Thanks Danny
